Lawyer Yvonne Ocrant Offers Free Liability Form Consultations at USEA Annual Meeting

By USEA

Attention all Convention atteendees! Yvonne Ocrant, who will be lecturing at the USEA Annual Meeting and Convention in Fort Worth, is offering free liability release consultations to those attending her lecture on Effective and Enforceable Liability Contracts. Yvonne is a trial lawyer, transactions attorney, and certified mediator who practices in the areas of equine law, employment law, and commercial litigation.

From Yvonne:

"As an added bonus to Convention attendees, that I will perform FREE equine activity liability release consultations to anyone attending my contracts presentation. All they have to do is bring me a copy of their current liability release and, at the end of my presentation, I will review it with them, let them know if it complies with their local laws, and what, if any, revisions are need to further enhance the enforceability and liability protections of the release -- all free of charge! If extensive revisions or a newly drafted liability release is needed, I will provide this service to attendees at a discounted flat fee rate. This is a total savings of over $400!"

For a schedule of lectures, go here. See you in Texas!
